Hi from K-Town! Thanks for letting me join the forum. What a great resource!
I have loved woodworking since my first Industrial Arts class my freshman year in high school. I have been working at woodworking even since doing projects for family and friends. I lost my little shop several years ago when we sold our property and moved across town. We built a new house, but couldn't afford to build a shop right away. A friend has let me have some space in his shop to set up my machines, and that has been great. Still, I have longed to have my own shop again. Well, my dream came true. I was able to build a new shop right beside the house. I just got my equipment moved in, but I'm still setting up. I can't wait to cut something besides OSB and 2x4s. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") If you guys have any suggestions for setup, lighting, etc. or if you can point me to old threads on the topic, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again!

Welcome to the sawdust pile. There is a ton of great info here. Might be a bit far to come but we have a shop crawl coming up soon (Nov 14). No better way to get ideas then checking out other member shops.

Welcome from a Kannapolis transplanted just up the road in Lexington -Glad to have you with us Every time I ride through Kannapolis downtown it breaks my heart to see how everything has changed - took LOML down to the GEM theater a few months back and I was surprise that it still looked the same as it did 40 years ago - I guess that is the only thing that has stayed the same - It brought back alot of memories

Welcome to the site, Sawbuck!
Sure would like to see some photo's of your new shop as you progress.  You have found a great site with plenty of advice regarding a new shop build.
Post frequently and don't hesitate to ask plenty of questions if need be!
Welcome aboard!
